GPS FIXED!!!

ya right.. :)

So, like all of you I have been puzzled as why it work and then it doesn't..

over the last 12 hours, I have been doing some experimenting, and here's what I have found to get my GPS working.

Just so that people who haven't read this thread know, I, like most people, have had the GPS go in and out. I have tried the CM6 to CM7 update with just wiping the caches, but that didn't work.

Anyway, once I get into a GPS appear/disappear condition, I noticed that if you go into location/security setting and uncheck gps there, the pull-down from the top with the power control thingy, still has the GPS icon highlighted. So, I started messing around with clicking on that icon and then the location/security checkbox and some combination made my gps work again. If you notice sometimes it will take 2 clicks on the GPS icon inthe pull down to either turn the icon off or on.. I did start out systematically clicking and trying to figure things out but I just wasn't getting a lock, so I just start clicking combinations not expecting much, but then all of the sudden it started working and now I have a lock... i have a suspicion that I had the icon "on" in the pull down and check mark checked in location/security, i unchecked it, but the icon was still on. I click the icon in the pulld down, but the icon stayed "on" and then I went to check maps, navigation, and GPS essentials. In the combinations I did towards the end I did click on airplane mode, but I dont think it mattered.

Another thing, when I woke up this morning, I went straight to GPS essentials, Satellite option and it wouldn't even turn on the GPS, so I went to Maps and it did get a lock and then lost it like always. But after I did that, GPS essentials would turn out the GPS and start the fix/nofix loop cycle.

Anyway, I thought I would share my experience.

Once I lose GPS again (which should happen in a couple of hours), i will try being systematic again and see if I can get the exact combination.

Ok, I'm about to do a full wipe with calkulins format all zip. I'm a little confused as to which Gapps to use from the link in the OP. Which ones are you guys using if you don't mind?
[EVO 4G General] sstory792:
I'm using this one:

Might be a newer one just look for the gb for gingerbread

I did a full wipe before flashing 7.

GPS is not working for anyone on evo cm7. Its been a issue.

Its not GPS not working, its the GPS icon is constantly flashing almost all the time.

--Quote (Originally by EJerVJerO)---I was able to finally fix not only the maps but navigation GPS! It instantly locks on now!

1.) Download GPS Status and Toolbox from Market (FREE version) 2.) Open application 3.) Select Menu 4.) Select Tools 5.) Select Reset 6.) Select Menu 7.) Select Tools 8.) Select Download

Load up any application that uses GPS and watch it instantly lock on!
[EVO 4G General] ms79723:
I had the same problem as well. I fixed it by turning off GPS and rebooting.

I just tried this, and got a lock first time since flashing cm7, don't know if it will stick but it certainly is an improvement, also when I turned GPS off the flashing icon problem went away as well..

[EVO 4G General] pinetreehater:
Now if we could only get it to work whilst moving.....many people can get a lock. Most cannot maintain said lock while in transit.
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
Yup just downloaded it.
[EVO 4G General] BK553:
This works for initial lock, and maybe if you have map data already cached, but as soon as 3G lights up to download map information, it conflicts with the GPS radio and borks itself. It's not going to be fixed until there is a commit on the CMSRC, so we will have to wait. There is no "trick" to fix it.
[EVO 4G General] MrWicked1:
Yeah I noticed this too seems alot longer then normal.

I'm not sure we're all on the same page. I have no problem getting a GPS lock or sustaining one. My problem is GPS turns on randomly and won't shut off.

UPDATE: I turned GPS off using the CM pull-down notification buttons. So now the GPS icon doesn't pop up anymore AT ALL. However, I STILL have a working GPS lock and so on. Maps works fine and weather updates based on location! Except now I can't see a flashing GPS icon anymore to see whether GPS shuts off or no.

This is now a LOL situation. GPS is off, yet it still works... O_O

[EVO 4G General] bugaboo90:
So, I have been experimenting with this a bit and here's the trick I have been able to do twice and I will try a third time to confirm tomorrow...

I added airplane mode to the pull down. I go to maps and get an initial lock and build direction to my desination in navigator while I am in the lock/unlock state. I then put on airplane mode, then go into navigator and get a permanent lock and start down my because I am able to maintain lock in airplane. During my drive, I do a pull down and turn off airplane mode and my 3G come on and I still maintain my lock. Again, I have been able to do this twice and I THINK those were the steps. I will try to follow those specifically tomorrow. In the end, I can tell you for certain, I have lock problems and then I did stuff with airplane mode/turning on/off the GPS and I was able to get a lock and maintain a lock in Navigation not just maps (twice)

[EVO 4G General] schmoof:
I have been rooted with stock rom for so long i feel it's time to take the plunge with something different. From what I read v7 is a sudo gingerbread release?

Question 1 is will I have to wipe everything first? I if so are all the sprint Apps compatible with this? I love the htc mail client and hate to lose that, as well as a few other sense items like syncing Facebook pictures. If there is a better email client that works with exchange profile, and I'm willing to try that too.

Secondly, do I just do the rom update or is there a kernal that works better with it? If so, rom update first or second?

Will my 4g be hosed? It's not here yet, so it's not a deal breaker?

Finally I see there are nightly updates. Are these just patches, or am I starting from square one?

Once I make the switch, if I wish to go back, is it a simple nand restore?

Thank you all!
[EVO 4G General] jorgeszabo:
Welcome to CyanogenMod.

Version 7 is gingerbread. It's built from Google's source code and then adapted to each particular phone. What makes this rom awesome are the many additions and tweaks that the team has produced. Stuff like quite hours and lock screen gestures for example.

Yes, you will need to wipe everything before flashing this. Most of the sprint apks work and you can back them up with titanium and restore them. I'm not 100% sure that you will have the email one working.

No need to flash a different kernel. The stock is pretty awesome.

No 4g support yet. It's in alpha stages and will soon be added. However you will not fry it or anything like that. It will work if you flash back to a sense rom. Yes, a simple nand restore will do the trick.

Nightly builds are considered alpha or early tests releases. They are new compiles that occur every night and the changes from development during the day are added in. Every night is a new build and it might be broken. People flashing nightlies understand that and they usually do a nand backup before flashing. The safest bet is to wait for a stable release which is probably going to happen in the next few weeks.

I hope this helps.
[EVO 4G General] bbv203:
Not sudo, this is Gingerbread compiled from AOSP source with extra tweaks.

Yes, nandroid then wipe everything.

Anything HTC or Sense related will not work with AOSP. I am sure there are other Exchange clients, however I don't use any so I can't help you with that one.

The ROM comes with the kernel.

If your WiMax isn't hosed now, this won't hose it, you just won't have WiMax until it is implemented. MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR WIMAX PARTITION, I use Amon RA, but I believe the new Clockwork backs this up as well.

Once you flash a nightly, you can just flash the next over it, i usually wipe Dalvik and Cache first, you won't have to set everything up again that way.

Yes you can just restore back to a previous backup if you wish.
[EVO 4G General] r0cky0790:
First and foremost this is not a stable rom. These nightly updates are being thrown out as they are finishing development for this particular rom.

It is suggested u do a clean install but once I install one nightly, I install the next right on top right after wiping cache and dalvik cache.

No sprint apps but u could find all the sprint app apks somewhere on xda.

Yes you will have the mail client but no Facebook contact Pix sync. This rom comes wit a good kernel so there's really no need to find or flash a new 1. (That's like commiting suicide on your battery in my opinion) and u always flash the rom then the kernel. And finally cm7 doesn't have 4g (AT THE MOMENT). I'm pretty sure it would be in the stable release.

All in all every rom has something different to offer. u will have to go shopping and see what u like. Check this out

[EVO 4G General] schmoof:
One more question after browsing 100s of posts. I used unrevoked3, and hence clockwork. Is there an actual conflict there? If so how do I replace that? And if replaced, do I lose my nand backups? If so, can they be copied to my desktop?

I'm a bit slow on the learning curve as I am a MS guy, so this is a new world to me. I hope to be studs (like some of you) and help with this knowledgebase very soon. I am just very gun shy that I will have an evo brick.
[EVO 4G General] bbv203:
Shouldn't be a conflict with clockwork, just make sure you have the newest version that backs up the WiMax keys. If you want to switch to Amon RA you can flash it from ROM manager. You won't loose your backups, but you can't use a Clockwork one with Amon RA and vice versa. However you can switch recoveries to use previous backups.

Oh and my Facebook contacts sync up with my Gmail contacts just fine.
[EVO 4G General] schmoof:
Good stuff. It's nice to see folks working together to better our phones.

Well here goes nothing. Probably not smart to start at 1:18 am.

Any recommendations for new email client would be very heloful, and as that is my life. It was actually my sole reason to trade in my epic for the evo. The mail client just blew.

Any links to the stock sprint Apps would be appreciated. I would also like to donate a few $$ for the developers: is there anything in place?

Also noticed the widget for various music programs were not available.

There was several FC when moving apps to SD. Usually doing it three or 4 times did, he trick.

Are stock apks for sprint tv, navigation and voicemail able to be implemented? If so can someone point me in the right direction to get and install them?
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:

[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:

But, most of us are using Google Voice for voicemail. It seems to work better than Sprint's, it's free, and it transcribes the voicemails for you.
[EVO 4G General] schmoof:
Regarding the question about the email client in stock, you can click on the to button, bringing up your contacts. That's not an option in the new version as of yet.
[EVO 4G General] DanWalker:
one thing that I wish they would find a way to implement is multiple contact selection for texts and email. I hate having to try to remember every name I am supposed to sent a mass text or email out to. That's something I have been dying to see happen. Other than that CM7 is definitely living up to my expectations.
